Who said signing these internet petitions don’t work? – yet another successful outcome. Help the homeless ………. Don’t persecute them :D Lee -- The spikes have been removed from 118 Southwark Bridge Road, SE1! Tesco branch. The events of this week have been incredible. As soon as the spikes were spotted, the public rallied together and demanded their removal. Over 130,000 people signed my petition. We demanded better from the developers and better from our capital. Boris Johnson spoke out and said they needed to go. Spikes were spotted outside a branch of Tescos and so activists poured cement mixture over them. Hours later Tescos removed the spikes. It was then just a matter of keeping up the pressure. Then this morning the spikes in Southwark were gone! (Sat 14th June) I am overwhelmed at the outpouring of compassion and humanity in supporting the removal of the spikes and getting the City, the UK and the world talking about the issue of homelessness. The spikes were simply a symbol for the way homeless people are often treated; they have started an important discussion that has been a long time coming and one that we need to keep having. Please share the good news by tweeting/reposting this: The anti-homeless spikes were removed from the block of flats #PeoplePower change.org/nohomelessspikes Thank you and well done -- we did this together!
